Deep in the Heart of Texas

So..."Milk lived for a time in Dallas, Texas but as a Jew had difficulty in finding and keeping a job" - citation? Compare with:

"Anti-Semitism has not been as pronounced in Texas as in other places." [1]

Could there be other reasons for the employment difficulties? Other than the good ole boys, that is.

[edit] Discrepancy between Whites's replacement

In Dan White's wikipedia entry, Don Horanzy is named as Dan White's replacement on the SF Board of Supervisors, but in Harvey Milk's entry Harry Britt is named as White's replacement. I assume one of these are incorrect. Which one is correct? --Tjdigit 16:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Harry Britt is the correct answer. This is true according to the documentary, "The Life & Times of Harvey Milk". There have also been some edits to this article, removing information that was in the documentary, and "dumbing down" the article. I don't know why that was done but I'll restore the factual information at some point. Jtpaladin 17:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccuracy regarding Dan White's suicide

The article reports that Dan White committed suicide while on parole. This is inaccurate. He committed suicide while living in San Francisco. The terms of his parole prevented him from entering San Francisco, let alone living there. His parole had ended, and he had to seek special permission to move back to San Francisco. He lived there for not quite a year, and then committed suicide.

You're totally welcome to make edits to the article. -Seth Mahoney 17:45, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] No Citation on "celebration" reports

I removed the following:

"There are reports that his old colleagues cheered and applauded him when he arrived to surrender." because there was no citation and it is not mentioned in the documentary, "The Times of Harvey Milk". I watched the documentary on the Logo Channel and I did not hear that being reported about Dan White's surrender. If I'm mistaken, please re-post and give citation. Also, the riots are not well covered in this article so from the notes I took from the documentary, I have to come back and fill in that info. --Jtpaladin 23:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About that new photo..

Which is great, by the way, thank you -- it's a *little* overpowering at its current size -- is there a way to reduce to thumbnail or thereabouts? Zero sharp 21:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
